Product Description
Wildly popular in the 1970s and 80s, Transcendental Meditation (TM) continues to be one of the most accessible forms of Eastern spiritual practice in the West. But does it live up to its hype? In this objective exploration of TM, consciousness researcher John White looks at what’s billed as "a simple, natural, and effortless mental technique, practiced twenty minutes a day" and takes on its critics as well as its cheerleaders. White explains what it’s like to take a trip through the "mountains of mind," the purpose of mantras, whether the Maharishi is enlightened, and what science says about consciousness-raising. He also provides a glossary of TM terms and a "how-to" lesson so readers can try it themselves. |

Lame and not TM at all. by Julian  1 Stars
July 15, 2009
If you want a good book about Transcendental Meditation read the one by film maker David Lynch:
Catching the Big Fish: Meditation, Consciousness, and Creativity
John White by authoring this book is trying to cash in on the fact that TM is famous but is actually doing an incredible disservice to the reader by leading them to believe they are doing TM. He wants to make money talking and writing about TM but he is not a teacher of TM. Unfortunately his book and its title is just confusing and misleading.
I applaud the author for focusing on something so incredibly important and almost unknown in the world but....
The simple fact is you cannot learn to transcend thought by reading a book because by its nature reading is thinking. This has been tried myriad times in the past and it just doesn't work.
Anyone can teach meditation. Meditation just means thinking. Concentration, contemplation, and meditation are all just different flavors of thinking.
Transcending thought is the real deal. Save your time and money and find a real certified teacher of TM and learn to transcend meditation.

simplistic by L. Geeslin (NC USA) 1 Stars
July 12, 2009
You can't learn TM from a book and to give people the idea that you can just shows ignorance of it. It requires careful step by step instruction from a teacher over a period of days. The teachers take courses lasting months, hundreds of hours of video and training sessions so that they will know everything that could possibly be need to be said to the students to guide them into the proper practice. The book is really a disservice more than a service.

This book can help everyone by sunny (Las Vegas)  5 Stars
May 25, 2009
I, for one, am very grateful to John White for his very honest and objective book. I wanted to take a TM course this month, and their corporation told me it was now $2500, since they were offering $500 off this month. I can't imagine anyone charging that much for something you can learn in, using their words, 20 minutes. You CAN learn how to meditate from a book, and I strongly oppose the reviewer you said you can't. I learned how to from John White's book, and believe me, it works. I feel the people from TM have lost their way. Was TM supposed to become an elitist method, excluding millions of people who are unable to come up with nearly $3,000?

Not recommended by Peregrina (India) 1 Stars
March 19, 2009
He writes well enough, and he tries to be objective, but he clearly doesn't have a deep understanding of what he is writing about. If he did, he wouldn't give instructions for meditating. Meditation is not something you learn from a book. That's not the tradition, and for very good reasons.
